In the present film, for example, I am simply stating a few truths over a background of images that are all trivial or false. This film disdains the image-scraps of which it is composed. I do not wish to preserve … Continue reading →

https://autonomies.org/2025/09/the-society-of-the-spectacle-1973/

Degrowth MalmöAug 15, 2025

As part of a performance informed by the #situationists Lavrik has been walking IN REVERSE from the cabaret at the ISEE Degrowth Conference in Oslo, Norway to the self-proclaimed demilitarized Freetown of #Christiania in #Copenhagen.

The 700 kilometres long walk is to raise awareness around #Degrowth and slow living. You can follow his trip via instagram (@stepinreverse / https://www.instagram.com/stepinreverse )

On 21st August, he will be crossing by boat from Helsingborg (Sweden) to Denmark. He won't pass Malmö since he cannot cross the
bridge/tunnel by walking to Copenhagen.

He is expected to reach Copenhagen by 25th August.

He's looking for people to meet, places to visit and stay at and supplies on the way.
